All user reviews for the DigiTech JamMan Stereo

no effect embatrqués

eidtables via jammanager, intuitive application not great, but with a little practice o ncomprends the purpose and possibilities

not rack> pedal

technology, transistor components / semiconductors and digital cd quality 44khz

connectivity twelve o'clock yes

UTILIZATION

relatively easy, with a lot of potential with two key functions relatively manageable, but it is true that the control panel is filled to its right size

Although you sometimes go ds manual, but navigation and menus are quite
logical.

Easy Edition via 200 presets 100 internal and 100 external mem for mem card

SOUND QUALITY

no effect sf beat (metronome vulgar renamed) via the 10ers presets that sound a bit weird and not too credible, however, they can serve as a metronome

Use with guitar

a priori could be quite use with a keyboard eg.

I like the sound is very good with little or no wastage provided .... that properly sets the input levels and output levels as means balanced input levels are separated above the level loop and separate instrument in / out (contrary to the rc30x lboss)

OVERALL OPINION

this is six months

I was significantly more expensive rc30XL, which has convinced me NOT AT ALL because no applicable ratio between the instrument and the loop, it always gave me a noise del aboucle / Rytmic very high level instrument very very low, which meant that I was irendu very quickly to the store. The situation changed completely with the jam man in the SAME SETUP with same instruments,

management input levels are significantly more mature (level loop / metronome / mic / instrum) on the jam man who would NERM for a mini mixer .... !!


I often important solos parties rhythmic picks on cd, and it makes my tracks back to some very usable costs through jamm manager because it seems to me that e nwav slivers are not recognized if and after the export of map mem or mem int to be used directly via the presets

WHAT I WOULD LOVE / a tempo knob button would have been nice, as the tempo via the footswitch is not too easy questions accurately, but already with the footswitch to switch up not snap softer already allows more flexibility the control at this level

As its overall memory of 40GB with external mem card (32GB for me), plus a good capacity for internal mem approx.8go) also. ... When you consider the small 32mo of 880 bar boss dr 539th ....
having some effects, reverb / chorus / delay / + qq box rhythms were welcome


Very very satisfied, the build quality seems very good overlooked the weight and strength of the case. after for electronics and mechanical time will tell ... at least I will take arguably the jam man
without any concern

Overall, this is a well thought out and resulted tool, pure and very useful to have a rhythm track with the guitar eg.

Stereo Looper.
Integrated buttons allow you to move to the bottom of a loop on the other.
Lot of useful features: SD card, microphone input, Aux input, 99 loops, etc..
To access loops via the computer, you must use a software (Jam Manager).

UTILIZATION

I use it for looper on 2 amps simultaneously, combined with A / B box.
Jammanager the software needed to access the internal sounds with your computer is very bad and very buggy. When you get it to work, it will - in my case it will not launch. Prefer an SD card to the internal memory.
More bug pedal made me lose half loops: make backups.
No problem at the basic functions, however:
- Looping equivalent to competition Boss - but less ergonomic reagent / a Headrush,
- Effective in changing the foot loop buttons.

SOUND QUALITY

Not noticed any concern.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years.
I have used other models: Boss RC20-XL before and Akai Headrush today.
The +:
- This is one of the few existing loopers Stereo
- It includes advanced features that I expect from this kind of pedal.
The -:
- Jammanager the software, the only way to access the internal memory is pitiful.
- It's a big machine, with bugs and complications that entails.

I will not give the characteristics (you already know everything). I think the only BIG FLAT, is the lack of MIDI IN able to synchronize the tempo with other device noon and you can call the loops via program change.

UTILIZATION

easy to use, handling a few hours

SOUND QUALITY

sound quality transparent enough. I use the output of a pre-mixer for my keyboards.

OVERALL OPINION

It allows me to send loops is made live (for the easiest) is pre recorded. The advantage is that you can 'tap a tempo to synchronize a loop sending a drummer and a separate click the batter does not move then exit .. We can also load and play WAV FILES (always with the advantages of the click and time strech) via software (which in turn is really a big Mr. ...) but hey, you get there.

See website builder, other opinions ...
Ah yes, precision: it is possible to extend the memory with an SD card. The doc says (memory) from 2 to 32 GB, but as it is anyway not possible to make loops more than 10 minutes a memory, a 16GB enough to wait for 16h and bananas memory promised. For info.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
like its predecessor single, very simple.
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
yeah, but damn pdf, grrrrrrr: Nicke me it's an ink cartridge to print!
Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
Must catch the thing is not so obvious but with training.
Ability to export the sound at 44.1 kHz / 16 bits in a computer via a downloadable software from the manufacturer website. After that, we do what we want.

SOUND QUALITY

Which instruments do you use?
All: guitar, bass, keyboard ......

OVERALL OPINION

I used for about 6 months to work my songs before, but I had (and I have always) mono. Basically it serves me mobile recorder. It is quick to set up: I plug the guitar Pod XT Live, Pod in JamMan JamMan to the headset and headphones in my ears & roll my chicken.
I recorded a series of agreements that I loop in a memory and try the above arrangements. If it works, I overdube (neologism Franglais). I recorded another series of agreements in another memory ... See other ... I change the order of the memory as I feel like it. I try the enchainenements between memories: I'm having!

If one day he would come to the idea of ​​producing me back on stage, I think I like utliserai sampler to send arrangements

Choice I would do without hesitation!

Phrase looper and digital.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, the manual is clear and even for a novice like me to use material turns out to be very easy.

SOUND QUALITY

No significant blows, the jamman proves neutral (thank goodness). I use it with an electro-acoustic.

OVERALL OPINION

For two weeks, I bought it to practice. I use it mainly as a phrase.
I also looked at the boss but one with the 4 foot controls seemed better suited to my needs. (Presence of other headphones).

I'll just liked the rhythm track has a viewing encrypted tempo with manual adjustment.

This material is quite expensive and the odds in nine occas is quite high but the material seems sturdy and in any case he is a valuable aid.

The Jamman Stereo has no effect.
This is a digital looper.

UTILIZATION

Configuration relatively simple if you take the time to read the manual (downloadable in French on the manufacturer's website Digitech.com).
Editing is done via JamManager samples, a very simple and convenient but very unstable, often requiring disconnection / rebranchage usb pedal for data transfer.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality at the top, the Jamman spring that you gave him to eat, neither more nor less.
I use it mainly with a microKorg, nothing to say.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a few days ago in order to send samples live and afford a click for the drummer: mission accomplished brilliantly!
I do not separate more!
Very good investment.

This is a Loop pedal and no effect other than for Memory of sentences created, stacked loops. The connection is interesting, you can enter several instruments in mono and / or microphone.
Finally a stereo output, a metronome typed battery, USB to exchange with the PC, save or load. It is the principal.

UTILIZATION

Simple to use, a manual which was not often used ..
Uh, editing, no, no effect, for one can speak against the recording and overdubbing that restore a sound quality and not scratch like other brands.

SOUND QUALITY

Grrr, effects, LOL. Keyboards, guitars and vocals, I think this model is very accomplished and versatile. Well I compare to my old RC 20XL that is returned to prehistory. I like his time recording, quality overdub, brief as it was all said: Looper a real no frills. Note: the old FS300 and / or FS3X, of Footswitchs indispensable, I confirm.

OVERALL OPINION

I decided after seeing all of my processors with the loop function of gender from 28 to 40 seconds does not serve me or not whether Digitech, Boss or TC H. (The SL 20, for example, an interesting effect which causes it to have much longer loops than those authorized or the voice Live play), I really had to replace my RC20 XL mono exceeded at any point of view,
and that helped more. At that price, I do not get any better because there are better and there will be even better, but I found what I needed.
This is an excellent value for money, I do not regret my choice to date, I would do so.

It's a looper that fills this function very well. The sound quality is there, no background noise.
The recording on the SD card (1GB to 16 GB) 99 loops is a joy, because the card can be carried everywhere and used by many PC or Mac with an SD card slot.
Audio files are in. And WAV-> export GARAGE BAND on (Apple) -> Export as MP3 in iTune.

and here's the result:

https://sites.google.com/site/delabracherie/mes-demos

analog technology, before that I plugged all my pedals. Please note there is no pedal for talent ... let's be clear on this point ....
DIGITECH / Hardwire and the sound is very good.

UTILIZATION

Hyper 4 simple buttons:
- Loop Up loop to change one by one (but if you stick your foot remains above it scrolls faster).
- Loop and Dow to go down one by one (but if you stick your foot remains above it scrolls faster).


We can begin the initial loop (the first)
-Either by triggering with the foot
Be-by calibrating a sound level (it starts recording when you send the sauce).

Possibility of launching the drum machine binary (and not a real battery beep beep as in the previous model). The drum will be able 4 before starting the recording so you stall then your turn to 4,8,16, 32 bars ....
It takes time to adapt to the mastery of the craft, to manage the overlay loop ...
Tips: we must count the number of steps to not crash and stop recording stack above the last bar ... otherwise .. it shifts everything ....

SOUND QUALITY

- No significant effect is a looper, nothing more, but it does it very well
- The reverse effect (reading backwards) is the gadget, but gives an effect "violins"
- You can play with headphones (small jack)
-The sound of the voice is very good, but takes some serious (should be a microphone equalizer before ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use the jamman since 2006, I opted for a jamman Stereo in August 2011.
Well it's more a whim than anything else .... The old Jamman records on compact flash card.

What I love most: the strength (of course I do not play in ski's shoes) but it's sizable steel footswitch). We gain in accuracy compared to the RC20 and the old Jamman (pedal spring)

What I do not like the price on the Internet while at down 12% in 8 months. When the price in store is of 300 euros! Super expensive anyway for a model that has not undergone changes to manifest from footswicth.
For stereo output and what is missing (I do not know about the others ....) I plugged my stero Tremolo and Chorus pedals ... and the fate of his two amp but no effect PING PONG .... (Or left / right if you want ... in this time of presidential campaign).
The big news was like the Boss RC-300 to have separate loops ... well this is the same budget.

https://sites.google.com/site/delabracherie/mes-demos

looper (see the features manufacturers ...)
for me it is the best metronome out there,
but like all metronomes, it does not replace any other musicians, although some use it to avoid relationships, and play alone,
I think it is not the ultimate goal
excellent to work ..

UTILIZATION

Ultra easy to use

SOUND QUALITY

I had the boss rc20xl sold to the JamMan
I also have the rc 50
no difference in sound quality,
I use both with a guitar plugged into a jack, as with other instruments via a microphone via the XLR

OVERALL OPINION

I had the boss rc20xl sold to the JamMan
I have also always the rc 50
as a general rule, the JamMan is better, better value, more capacity,
small reserve, I like using the footswitches, they keep using it barefoot, wearing shoes is not to get hurt and be specific
the boss is more comfortable

one can connect up to four instruments simultaneously (including micro) but only in mono (ie left speaker guitar, synth on the right, ... etc). As against an intruder if you want stereo you need two jack and a mixing desk. No midi output is expected or required (for a loop pedal)

UTILIZATION

extremely simple to use! he told me just a few hours to get a grip! Only problem: the transfer of data to a pc which is a bit more complex but relatively affordable.

SOUND QUALITY

I use several types of instruments for me to work the introduction of compounds, such as a synthesizer, an electric and acoustic guitar and a microphone. I must admit that the quality of sound is similar to that casiment I use on cubase (pro recording software) via a sound card pro. I would say about 85% to 90% similar. Following are the personal settings of the sound of cubase that make a good quality. So in conclusion, exelente recording quality and also very accurate! no offset can be reported!

OVERALL OPINION

This should be 2 years that I use the JamMan, and for those who seeks to perfect rhythm and musical creativity, it's really ideal! the effect loop can listen to these tracks own loop which allows to have immediately a feeling or a rescenti with what you just recorded and immediately gives the creative idea! the level value for money is EXCELLENT! only downside is the lack of adjustments, or modulation of each track. But it must still remember that it's a loop pedal which is primarily designed for the live (but like I said very useful also for the rhythmic drive)

What are the effects, or types of effects available?
It's a looper, so it can record loops and to import from a computer.

Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
There is software to manage the loops. Here it gets stuck a little. The app is not stable, uses Silverlight to work and still plant regularly. If there is a downside, it is at the soft.

What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
It 16bit/44.1kHz digital stereo. The converters are correct and do not distort the sound if the input and output levels are properly adjusted.

What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Stereo input and output, XLR microphone input, an input for an MP3 player with a headphone output and an output for the click.
A USB port for connection to the computer.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
The basic operation is pretty intuitive. We arrive early results. The advanced features are fairly easy to understand.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual can be downloaded in French on the Digitech site. It's pretty clear and well explained. We must read the manual because it is not a pedal plug and play with 3 buttons!

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
On the pedal, no problem. For cons, the software is the m ... It's very unstable and in the encoding parameters (especially at the stereo) it does not always ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, appropriate and realistic enough?
The sound is fairly accurate if you take the time to adjust levels. I had to redo all the patches from my multi-effects to adjust the input level but once done, the sound is very satisfying.
There is no latency in the loop, even when switching from one loop to another. This is very significant.

Which instruments do you use? Which ones you prefer, you hate?
For now I have not tried with voice but for playbacks and guitar loops, great!

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
1 month

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Boss RC-3

What is so special that you love the most, least?
+ The stereo
+ The ability to store sounds in an SD card
+ The ability to change easily the foot loop

- The editing software is poor
- The limit of 10 minutes per loop

How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I find the value for great price and features are well thought out.
For my current needs, the choice I would do without much hesitation

Her only requirement: an AC to 1.3 A and not DC. I solved the problem in my pedalboard using a SKB Stage 55 of which provides its power.

UTILIZATION

A small reading the manual makes the handling easier. It seems that some people can not use it. Personally, I think it is because to work with this material must be formed to keep up well if we play the metronome for a reason X or Y. Otherwise, to make a first loop and replay it over nickel.

SOUND QUALITY

In addition, you record your playbacks on a 16GB or 32GB SD card you what to do. Basically: 5 playbacks / Go. The sound quality is based on the quality of the source. Otherwise the record is very good.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of use. I do it again the same choice again. To do this a good idea of ​​the material, I read the manual before making the purchase, I invite you to do the same as the manual is in French http://www.digitech.com/system/documents/33 / original / JamMan_Stereo_Manual_French.pdf? 1287007164.

Only a looper, but really excellent!
Jammanager is software that allows you to "bring order" in its loop!
Model pedal digital technology.
Connection 2 inputs and 2 outputs for stereo jack, a USB to be connected to a computer for backup loop.
A footswitch jack for optional FS3X, mini jack for headphones and another for the entry to.
A jack output for sending the tempo to another source, such as the drummer he plays with the tempo of the looper!
And finally an XLR for a mic singing.

UTILIZATION

It takes time to adapt, it becomes natural to

SOUND QUALITY

There is no effect!
A few drum sounds, but it's a click can be improved to well tuned to the tempo of the looper!
But the sound that you just recorded is super nickel!

I use it only with a guitar, because thanks to my Axis Ultra, I programmed a few patch could do ANYTHING, clean guitar, jug, distortion, etc ... With the pitch shifter I make a bass sound with my guitar, synth sounds, etc. ...

I do not put that because for 9 to 10, there would be really usable drum loop.

OVERALL OPINION

Since July 13.

I had another looper, the Line 6 JM4, which did not suit me at all, because we have a loop, and you can not change by another without stopping the first loop :-(
I like the quality of the sound played, the stereo complete, able to change any other loop by loop, and there are 98 others available.

I paid € 256 euro at guitar, because it was 10% that day!

I do not regret my choice at all, but I hesitated with the Boss RC-30 (I have not tried), because the Boss has integrated drum loops, but it has only two switch instead 4 of the Digitech!

Of all the characteristics stated in previous opinions.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple. The manual (in French) is quite clear and I did not need to look long.
Editing the sounds is pretty simple.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is very good. You can stack quite a layer without loss of quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I had already used a looper. I took this one to have a stereo input and output. I use it mainly with my vg 99 and a guitar (VG 99 is a device that models of this guitar sounds with a looper that allows stacking a bass, banjo, guitar, synth guitar + electric example.

The product fits perfectly to my expectations. The value for money could be better but there is no real competitor products today. Boss will be released on his own, but I like less the trigger system at the foot boss that I find harder to manage live.

Everything would be perfect on this pedal Digitech if there was not a real problem with the software that manages the organization of the loops. This software does not work with all computers (I have the instaler on XP but not on Seven). It usually recognizes the wave files but it works for some and not others. It is a great mystery. We would have liked it to recognize the mp3 format to save some memory.

So if you create the loops live is fine but if you want to prepare loops at home it becomes more hassle. I can only make a Digitech urgent updating of this software utility.

In the good points, indicate that the power adapter is included that is not the case at Boss.

It is therefore a looper with stereo left and right inputs, outputs idem, microphone input, headphone output and auxiliary.
Oh and also SD memory card slot.
The frame is metal, exudes solidity.
A big 10/10 for this category.

UTILIZATION

I had never tried before this one looper so I was a little confused the first time.
Reading the manual needed for me, in half an hour I recorded my first loop (which is correct).
A big plus for use: auto record, and the fact that the tempo is automatically detected during a recording.
We can also adjust the input level, output (the loop, instrument and drum track)
The switches are well positioned, for cons I do not like the buttons "multi function", so I put a 9.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent.
No loss of quality or anything, I was very surprised.
I used it with an electric guitar, recorded a few loops and frankly at this level again no problem.
Note that there are patterns of integrated batteries of sufficient quality as well.

OVERALL OPINION

I did system tries for over an hour and I'm pretty novice with regard to the loopers, but one thing is for sure is that this is a complete and quality, and fairly intuitive level use .
If I could afford and usefulness of such a machine obviously I'd be left with
In short, I strongly recommend it.
I also tried the JamMan solo, because of its small size it is less easy to use, but is also a product of very good quality.

4 pedals (the classics REC / DUB / PLAY / UNDO / REDO and STOP / CLEAN more LOOP UP / DOWN).
Sturdy metal chassis, SD slot, inputs / stereo outputs



UTILIZATION

Nothing could be easier especially if you already know the principle of looper.

the UNDO / REDO base is not very usable because it takes longer to activate support for cons
The FS3 provides an optional definite plus, the UNDO / REDO snapshot (I have not yet purchased)


SOUND QUALITY

The sound is impeccable and well restored, just fine tune the various volumes.

it is connected to the output of my POD X3 Live which I use as a USB interface, so I can looper guitar and all my virtual instruments! It's very rich!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months (basically since it is available) to replace a Line 6 JM4 (who had two major flaws for my taste: no REDO! And no way to go live with a loop at the other)

I waited for him so to replace the JM4 and I'm really not disappointed! function loop up / down are very useful to switch from verse to chorus to a song for example.

With experience I will ever be the choice. So I owned a very disappointing JM4 and tested the previous JamMan (2 pedals) it is even better. I also played with many loopers "virtual" one of Guitar Rig (very similar to a JamMan) and Ableton Live 8, which has even greater potential! (I use it a lot, but I keep JamMan for a simple and immediate: no need to turn on the computer, open ... Live)

Very good product.
